A drop of alcohol can make a scorpion sting itself to death.
The claim that a drop of alcohol can cause a scorpion to sting itself to death is a myth. According to existing evidence, alcohol can disorient and agitate scorpions, but it does not lead to self-inflicted death by stinging. Scorpions are immune to their own venom, meaning that even if they sting themselves, it would not be fatal. No credible evidence or authoritative sources support the claim as originally stated in the myth. The sources examined confirm that alcohol does not make scorpions kill themselves, contradicting the provided claim.
